CORES is a privately funded program of Justice Assistance Corporation, in collaboration with the Rhode Island Courts. People who are charged with crimes typically face multiple disadvantages including the need for mental health, substance use disorder, or medical treatment; limited education and employability; unstable housing; and need for other specific counseling or social support. People on bail awaiting trial cannot readily obtain such services. CORES provides comprehensive services under one roof for people referred by the courts, including assessment, service planning, case management, and counseling, with referral arrangements for more intensive services if needed. The program emphasizes employability, which is a common element of need for people with criminal justice involvement. Clients who complete the program will have their charges dismissed and their record expunged. The talk will describe the evaluation design for CORES, which is being conducted by Professors Laws and Elizabeth Tobin-Tyler; and the results of the program after 6 months
The 2023 Emerging Areas of Science IDeA Symposium will be held at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University on June 1, 2023. This year’s event will be held in a hybrid format, allowing both virtual and in-person attendance.
The theme of the 2023 symposium is “Data Science.” The symposium aims to educate and engage biomedical investigators in RI regarding the role data science plays in the planning and the execution of clinical and translational research in our increasingly data-driven society.
For the past 16 years, the NIGMS-funded Innovation Development Awards (IDeA) programs in Rhode Island have joined together to hold a state-wide, day-long symposium that celebrates successes and fosters collaborations among Rhode Island investigators. The symposium includes programs from Brown University, the University of Rhode Island, Lifespan Hospital System, Care New England Health System, and the VA Providence Health Care System.
We are pleased to announce two keynote speakers for this year’s Symposium:
Additionally, we hope you will enjoy the science talks and additional sessions featuring investigators representing Rhode Island’s IDeA programs.

Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Science is a growing research field that seeks to inform how evidence-based interventions can be successfully adopted, implemented, and maintained in healthcare delivery and community settings. Medical professionals are increasingly required to meet benchmarks and performance metrics for delivering evidence-based practices. Researchers are now required to demonstrate the public health impact of their study findings.
D&I Science can empower clinicians and scientists to:
Enhance the relevance and impact of research careers
Interface closely with healthcare leaders and staff as partners, breaking down the research-practice divide in order to achieve the ultimate goal: to increase the public health impact of evidence-based innovation
Integrate methodologies into clinical trial designs and speed the development of evidence-based interventions that have demonstrable public health impact
Through this 2.5-day Implementation Science Bootcamp, attendees will learn the skills and tools needed to increase the adoption of evidence-based practices, treatments, and interventions in clinical and community-based settings.
Pre-registration is required.
Make sure to stop by Brown’s booth at the NIH Graduate and Professional School Fair!
The fair will provide an opportunity for attendees to prepare for the next step in their careers by exploring educational programs leading to the PhD, MD, DDS, MD/PhD, and other graduate and professional degrees. Last year, more than 300 programs from across the U.S. (graduate schools, medical and dental schools, schools of public health, and other biomedically relevant programs) participated in the hopes of recruiting future students. This year the fair will welcome all interested college students, postbacs, and other young scientists.
We can’t wait to see you there!

This is part of a series on trans youth, through the Pembroke Public Health Collaborative.
About the series:
U.S. legislation targeting trans and non-binary youth is at an all-time high. This series of lunchtime talks aims to analyze and decode the ways “transgender” “non-binary” and “child/youth” are constructed in the American socio-political imaginary as well as address the real life impact of oppression and stigmatization on the lives of trans/non-binary young people. Featuring high profile thinkers from a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, legal studies, and public health.
